Barbershopera!

Pleasance Courtyard    31 July - 11 August, 13-19, 21-25 @ 21.50    Toni and the Guys

In the crammed-out make-shift container venue of Pleasance Beside, Barbershopera are humbly fighting the fight for an outstandingly unconventional four quartet. Created by two of its members, Rob Castell and Tom Green, the story charts the journey of ‘Toni & The Guys’ as the ‘three men and a girl’ group battle head to head with a Swiss Quartet to win the Eurovision Song contest. Beautifully pitched, both musically and comedically, splurting forth witticism after witticism, Castell, Green, Mark Hole and Lara Stubbs bounce gregariously from scene to scene for a breathtakingly enjoyable 60 minutes. This fledgling group are undoubtedly one to keep your eye on, with writing and performances this solid, a tin container in the Pleasance Courtyard is surely only the beginning.
